I might have 1...or 4 ....in the garage, but I'll have to check it tomorrow. Just the tube, no dipstick.

There are two oil indicator guide tubes you can possibly use... part number 401357 is for 69/73 455 and 417091 is for 74/75 455 as called out in GM parts manual... Don't know why there is a difference between 73 vs 74 but the bends are different, most likely because of exhaust manifold configuration... In the photo below, top one 417091 and bottom is 401357... I have both of these NOS... $25 each plus shipping in the US only...

I'll check the weight and let you know... Priority mail should be somewhere between $10/$15... But I'll run the numbers just to be sure... Do you know which one you will need?

I have no idea which tube will work best for your application... what do the bends look like in the previous tube you used? Maybe someone on here has used the w/z manifolds on a 74 and later 455 and can provide you some information...
